Deck Description

This is a pure Merfolk Tribal dech with a lots of +1/+1 and Islandwalk as well.
And it's true...Merfolks dont like Aquarium, so they break the glass and when everywhere little islands are created they put u in a coffin...just to feel how its like when you are boxed in! :D

Still sorry if my english is bad; im still from Hungary so get used to it :P

I hope you like it :)

EDIT:
+2 Merrow Commerce -2 Phantasmal Image
+4 Mana Leak to the side (swapin Cursecatcher if needed)

Deck discussion for Riot In the Aquarium !!!

Merrow comerce is a must for sure!!!
I would drop Cursecatcher to add comething like negate,essence scatter or mana leak
My merfolk I need to do some changes,but I dont have time now, I made it in the very first days that I was introduced to magic
take a look, it's quite good, but need improving on the defense spells and stuff

Merrow Commerce http://magiccards.info/lw/en/72.html is pretty sick :D
i chose Cursecatcher coz the low cost and the early sustain, and in 'late' it gets all the +1/+1 and the islandwalk too!!
btw i will try the deck with mana leak i think !! ;)
i will send my impressions with it :)
thanx for the advice ;)

OK i tested ur suggestions.
Mana Leak
its realy helpfull at all BUT!
1.: i played against my friend (i gave him my monored Goblin deck to play).
-when Cursecatcher was in play he was realy helpful, coz with only one +1/+1 he become 2/2 and i could blick the 1/1goblins and tokens without dying...and he is just one blue mana.
2.: same friend came and helped me out, but now he played with my Black Vampire deck with a splash of Red
-i could do some early agression with coursecatcher, and counter spelles like Doom Blade and Murder, so he was useful exspecialy when he got he +1/+1 counters so
we played several matches but most of the time Cursecatcher was great. the only downfall i noticed that its basicly a revealed counter. i mean...i played against my friens monoBlack control. his 'combo' is Burried Alive, Zimbify, Kuro Pitlord / Reiver Damon or just Consume Spirit.
so when he wanted to play a 'key' spell like Zombify he just left 1 mana untapped and thats all
but for aggro it was still great !
so i stick with Cursecatcher in the main deck, but put 4 Mana Leak to the side.
basicly Mana Leak just good in late game in this deck, coz u want ur creatures on the battlefield as fast as u can, so basicly u just never have untapped mana in ealry

Merrow Commerce....its just awsome !!! :D
I noticed that Mutavault + Merrow Commerce...just sick :D
u have a 2/2 creature and its a merfolk so gets all the +1/+1 counters AND its untaping at the and of the turn so u have ur mana too :P
but its just great., like vigilance for Merfolks :P
so thanx dude, high five ! :P

Holy smokes this is a cool build ! ! ! Have you considered Lullmage Mentor? I really haven't a clue of what to replace it with... sorry :-/ Lullmage flows well with Kira and Cursecatcher, but nicely made :D

Lullmage Mentor...realy not bad, i just can't fit it in.
the problems with it:
-3mana
-the deck doesn't have that much counters to make the ability realy usefull
-with Merrow Commerce the other ability is not that bad but 7 Merfolk is too much, considering the tokens too
so tha card is great but not in this deck i think, its just not realy fit in, and more importantly theres no room for it, coz the other cards are just have better synergy with the other parts of the deck
i realy appreciate ur suggestion btw, if i make a counter based merfolk wizzard deck i will surely put Lullmage Mentor in it :)
thanx one more time :)
